I'll be the first to bite, then:

I really don't care/like/give-a-crap about /sbin or /bin - it's a vague
and silly distinction.

as a user I want commands to be in my path. I don't give a flying fig
where they live.

As far as /usr is concerned that's a giant 'shrug'. We need a place to
shove a bunch of stuff /usr is just as good as anything else.

I grok the nfs-mount /usr routine for the distinction b/t things in /
and things /usr. That's fine. But nothing about the [/usr]/sbin and
[/usr]/bin distinction makes any sense anymore. Permissions and acls go
to the file layer. We can work just fine w/o them.

the need for it is kaput.
